Cross-Border Shipping with Confidence

UPS technology simplifies international shipping so you can easily manage imports and exports. Our cross-border shipping and tracking tools help to speed up delivery time and customs clearance, while maintaining compliance with trade regulations.

Proactively managing imports and exports saves time and prevents problems down the road. We offer a suite of online tools called UPS TradeAbility, which not only helps you understand and comply with trade regulations, but also helps determine the cost of your international shipments from the get-go.

TradeAbility includes multiple tools for importing and exporting, so you can:

Estimate the cost of transportation, duties, and taxes

Screen for restricted parties and embargoed countries

Find harmonized tariff codes for your products

Check import compliance and detect export licenses

Access our international forms library for export documents like a Commercial Invoice or Certificate of Origin

Save Time Processing Shipments & Keep Sensitive Data Secure

Time is a valuable asset, and spending it wisely is essential in today's business world. WorldShip, our free global shipping software, helps large businesses save time processing all types of shipments, including imports and exports. WorldShip not only automates shipping tasks--increasing your efficiency while reducing order entry errors--but also includes features that specifically streamline international shipping.

With WorldShip, you can create customs documents and upload your own trade documents for customs clearance; estimate duties and taxes; and search for and validate tariff codes.

UPS Import Control® is an importer-friendly feature of WorldShip that lets you process import shipments without sharing your account number. UPS can also remove the invoice from your shipment after it clears customs. This way, shipments can be processed and sent directly to a third party while keeping confidential information secure.
